And they will be happy to be mistreated
It will be the west's fault. for some people, the idealogy is more important that how they live or how much stuff they have or can buy, so they will deal with the sanctions. Sanctions are hurting. The value of the ruble has fallen, and sanctioning a bank causes panic. Sure, for many people, it's just an invonvienence that it just got a little harder to buy an app from the app store, but the sanctions are bad for business and investment.
By the way, the economic situation in Ukraine was crap even before this all happened. About two years ago, their credit rating was reduced due to risk, heck even their national airline went out of business due to debts (prinicple debtor was SVO airport of course). A shame, I actually enjoyed flying them.
